Congratulations! You just signed up for your billionth streaming service, the shiny new HBO Max. It comes from your friends at WarnerMedia and is like HBO GO and HBO NOW, but better, because in addition to Game of Thrones, it has Friends. Also, not only does it have The Sopranos, it also has Friends. And it's not just limited to HBO hits like The Wire, Barry, Big Little Lies, and Six Feet Under, because in addition to those prestige hits, it has Friends. 

HBO Max has gone live today, after seven months of anticipation.

HBO Max is coming in hot with a ton of new content, including plenty of exciting titles that are available at launch.

WarnerMedia officially enters the streaming wars with the launch of its platform, HBO Max, which includes 10,000 hours worth of content thanks to a mix of originals — an Amy Schumer docuseries, Anna Kendrick’s, the reality competition series — and a deep library of fan favorites, such as and, as well as all of HBO’s award-winning series. 

HBO Max is coming in hot with a ton of new content, many new titles of which will be available at launch. The WarnerMedia streaming service will boast HBO's entire premium original content slate, along with other TV favorites like The Big Bang Theory, Friends, and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, along with 20 films from Japan's iconic Studio Ghibli house.

If you're looking for some new TV shows and movies to watch this week while you're still quarantining, you're in luck. So much exciting content is coming to your queues, from two new Netflix shows to a hilarious comedy movie starring Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani.

Graduations across the world have been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, but Facebook and Instagram are doing their best to offer a silver lining.

Peacock, NBCUniversal's streaming service, is stepping into the streaming wars soon, and when it does, we'll have a lot of content to feast our eyes on. In addition to beloved shows like The Office, 30 Rock, Friday Night Lights, and Downton Abbey, it'll also make movies like Back to the Future and the Fast & Furious franchise available.

Get excited, fans: You'll soon be able to stream the hit sitcom again thanks to the launch of HBO Max, . The highly-anticipated service becomes available to users on May 27 and will cost $14.99 per month (though if you sign up before May 27, it's just $11.99 per month).

Real talk: HBO Max might be your best bet if you're considering subscribing to any of the new streaming services that are launching this year. I am not being paid to say this — a simple look at the service's upcoming lineup is all the proof you need.

Amy Schumer is not a chef. But she's about to play one on TV.

May is officially here, which means we're on the verge of warmer weather and, hopefully, some happier times. I hope you can get outside this month and enjoy some (socially distanced) fresh air, but when you're back inside, there are plenty of TV shows and movies to keep you occupied.

As the old saying goes, April showers bring May flowers, but what do we get out of those May flowers? The best TV shows and films to watch on Netflix, that's what. The world's most dominant streamer is adding some wonderful new content to watch as the world's self-isolation enters its second (third?) month.

There are a lot of TV shows and movies coming to Hulu in May, but we know you don't have time to sift through everything on the giant list to find the golden nuggets in between all the crap! Besides, that's our job, and we love it.

May has officially arrived and brought with it plenty of sunshine and blooming flowers and probably even worse seasonal allergies. But that also means a new month full of great TV shows and films hitting streaming services, and there are some great options to soak up while you wait out the coronavirus.
